The BRAIN Initiative® Conference
The BRAIN Initiative® Conference, previously known as The BRAIN Initiative® Meeting, convenes BRAIN Initiative awardees, staff, and leadership from the contributing federal agencies (NIH, NSF, DARPA, IARPA, and FDA), plus representatives and investigators from participating non-federal organizations, and members of the media, public, and Congress. The purpose of this open meeting is to continue to build the BRAIN community and provide a forum for discussing exciting scientific developments and potential new directions, and to identify areas for collaboration and research coordination.
The annual BRAIN Initiative Conference has transitioned to a biennial schedule. This change aims to provide more time for in-depth research, collaboration, and preparation, ensuring that each conference delivers high-quality content and meaningful advancements in the field. The 11th BRAIN Initiative Conference will be held in 2026.
